Hi Vasilis, To further on what Rob said

I have been through this operation where streams break due to a node falsely being marked down (flapping). In an attempt to mitigate this I increase the phi_convict_threshold in cassandra.yaml from 8 to 10, after which the rebuild was able to successfully complete. The default value for phi_convict_threshold is 8 with 12 being the maximum recommended value.
